With great sadness the family of Leo Joseph Paquette announce his passing surrounded by family on August 19, 2022.
For this terrific husband and father, your concerns are over, rest your head. Sunny harvest weather is around the bend. You’ve enjoyed watching your family grow and visits from your closest friends to the end. You’ve had faith in the Father and lending a helping hand to those in need while being looked up to by those close to you indeed. You may place your shovel along side the fence now and know your name as good man has been won. We will join with you one day, your work here on earth is done.
